Hello Bookshare Volunteers,
Thank you all for your warm welcome! I’m happy to be here and feel
honored to be included in the Bookshare volunteer community!
When I came for my first interview here at Benetech, I learned that
there are more than 15 million print-disabled individuals in the
United States alone. In further conversations, I learned that you,
our volunteers, provided the inspiration, as well as the bricks and
mortar, for what is now the world’s largest collection of digital
books for people with print disabilities!
You have changed lives. With your continued efforts, and the growing
advocacy for accessibility, Bookshare’s potential future impact is
enormous!
I hope to have the opportunity to get to know each and every one of
you. Madeleine and I look forward to learning more about your work
and about how we can best support your efforts. Above all, we are
looking forward to seeing our volunteer community, which you have all
helped to establish, continue to grow in numbers and impact.
As always, please feel free to contact Madeleine or me with any
questions, concerns, ideas, or thoughts you wish to share. Again,
thanks for all you do on behalf of individuals with print disabilities!
Warm regards,
Brenda
